Deputy Spokeswoman Picks Elam Candidate, Stays with Disy

    Political Friendships and Nominations Ahead of European Parliament Elections

    In the lead-up to the European Parliament elections, the political landscape is often dotted with unexpected alliances and nominations. This was exemplified when Niovi Parisinou, the former deputy government spokeswoman, made headlines by nominating Elam’s Geadis Geadi for the upcoming elections. Despite the stir this caused within political circles, Parisinou maintains that her actions were driven by a personal decision, rooted in a longstanding friendship rather than political alignment.

    Parisinou’s involvement in Geadi’s nomination took place at the Filoxenia conference centre, where she was one of four individuals to officially endorse him. Addressing the speculation around her motives, Parisinou clarified to Kathimerini, “this is not a matter of party or politicians. I have known Geadis for years, he is my friend. He asked me to nominate him and I said ‘yes’. There is nothing else to it.”

    While rumors circulated that Parisinou had been ousted from her party, Disy, due to her actions, the party’s leader Annita Demetriou spoke on ANT1 television stating that any decisions regarding Parisinou’s standing within the party would be postponed until after the elections.

    Parisinou was not alone in making notable nominations. Akel MEP Niyazi Kizilyurek received his nomination from Turkish Cypriot Nicosia mayor Mehmet Harmanci. During the nomination event, Harmanci highlighted the importance of unity among progressive forces against the backdrop of rising nationalist sentiments and ongoing conflicts in Europe and neighboring regions. He emphasized the critical need for solidarity among peace-loving factions within both the Turkish Cypriot and Greek Cypriot communities.

    The unfolding events demonstrate the complex interplay of personal relationships and political dynamics as candidates gear up for the European Parliament elections. With the political scene heating up, all eyes will be on how these nominations might influence voter sentiment and election outcomes.
